One person was killed and two paramedics were injured after an ambulance collided with a car and went off a bridge into waist-deep water of a creek below.

State police spokesman Lt. David Kaiser tells MLive.com the Mobile Medical Response ambulance was leaving a call early Monday when it apparently ran a stop sign in Saginaw County. He says two emergency workers were in the ambulance and the car was driven by a 21-year-old man.

Sheriff William Federspiel tells WNEM-TV the department sent a dive team to the bridge, which crosses Misteguay Creek.

An aerial image posted on WJRT-TV's website showed an ambulance on its side in the water. The crash happened near the border of Maple Grove and Albee townships, about 70 miles (113 kilometers) northwest of Detroit.
